"Never noticed before." Really, Treyen didn't notice many things.

Er, wasn't that the point of libraries, though? The quietness? So one could study? Oh, she didn't like--Ah. Got it. "I see." Bummer, though, because the library had a VERY interesting collection. To a person who liked books, that is. "That's completely understandable." That she both didn't talk about it, and that she avoided reading.

He wasn't commenting on it. Nor mentioning it to anyone else.

There was a smile on Treyen's face and he nodded in the obvious agreement they seemed to have about...meeting? Right. Whatever. Astronomy? It wasn't his favorite. But he liked it. "I do. I sort of enjoy the quietness of it sometimes." When one wanted to think, then it was very welcomed. If not, then Astronomy was extremely nerve-wracking because there was very little to do...practice-wise, anyway.
Aurora shrugged, "Well, last time I saw him he face-planted the floor and his kneazle flew half way across the platform." she said, giggling slightly. Then she bit her lip, still grinning. "I know, it's not funny... but I think he's alright. Professor Schirmer was there." And if she couldn't fix him up - and that was highly unlikely - then he'd have gone straight to the healer when he got here.

I see... hmm. That was weird, she almost expected people to laugh at her here. Especially the ones who liked reading... "Yeah..." she said. What else was there to say, really? 'I'm glad you do' or 'well done'? They would both sound either ridiculous or condescending... and she didn't want to be either of those things. "I suppose. I much prefer music to reading... that's why I don't like the silence." she explained. Though she was going to have to go somewhere to revise for her theory... maybe the library would help... maybe.

"Like I said, quiet isn't my thing. But the stars are beautiful." she said, glancing back at the charts. "Maybe they'd make a good tune." All twinkly... lots of pizzicato and high notes... she should try it sometime. Or maybe recommend it to her tutor. Her fingers tapped out a little rhythm as she thought about it.
